Why film someone who has been under rubble for 4 days....what about respect and privacy :-(
Report Dan Chipowski • January 17, 2010 6:46 PM GMT
Not much respect the way they showed those bodies being dumped out of that truck :0

why spend millions sending news crews when aid would be so much more appreciated. Film it by all means but sending news anchors over there adds zero value.

would get less money donated if they don't show pictures and give publicity. means to an end will be there excuse
Report JB Smoove • January 17, 2010 7:19 PM GMT
agree pictures are fine, its just all the staff they send. Is George Alagiah standing in front of some rubble adding much? No, he could easily stay in London. Same goes for Sky, ITV, C4, NBC etc.

nothing wrong with it, most important world story, so yu get youre best guys out there

and censoring images and telling news crews what they can and cant show? isnt that a slippery slope

and yes show the most important images, a guy crawling out of rubble, bodies being dumped . . because thats what is actually going on out there, no reason to go easy on it

How come the news reporters can get there OK but the aid can't?
Report Gallivanter • January 17, 2010 8:28 PM GMT
This man was accused of being a looter. I bet he wished he'd only been shot.

ITV _ Mark Austin, John Irvine AND Bill Neeley? Why 3 of them (plus all their crews etc.) What a waste. Couldn't just one go and some extra cash go towards the rescue operation?
Report yorky • January 17, 2010 9:11 PM GMT
they are all imho gratifying the news rather than just reporting it
Report Bamboo • January 17, 2010 9:15 PM GMT
I wonder where they are sleeping/staying at the moment all these reporters etc..
